Good news: Wissenschaftsrat awards KLU with ten year reaccreditation
Wissenschaftsrat
Recently, the German Science and Humanities Council (Wissenschaftsrat, WR) has awarded KLU with a ten year reaccreditation – and saw no need for subsequent evaluations following this term.
This is a major vote of confidence which is granted only rarely. In its evaluation, the WR especially underscored KLU’s work in education and research. In addition to the KLU faculty’s excellence in terms of research output, the university offers students an above-average percentage of professors and an excellent faculty-to-student ratio. President Andreas Kaplan: “[The reaccreditation] represents a trustworthy, external seal of approval for our student body. We’re very pleased about the reaccreditation. I wish to thank everyone involved for their excellent work.”
In Germany, all private universities must successfully complete at least one institutional accreditation process with the Wissenschaftsrat (WR). The WR thereby acts as an external quality assurance process, ensuring that private universities deliver sufficient academic performance. Find more information on KLU’s website.
